As one of the first surgeons to perform a vertical sleeve gastrectomy in Las Vegas, Nevada, Dr. Tom Umbach has many years of experience in perfecting his VSG technique. Many patients ask, “Is the sleeve safe?” At Blossom Bariatrics, our patented Safe Sleeve® not only answers that question, it raises the bar on safety and outcomes.
Over the years, Dr. Tom has perfected the Patented Safe Sleeve® – a unique and safer way to perform a VSG surgery, or vertical sleeve gastrectomy, designed to minimize gastric sleeve complications and optimize gastric sleeve weight loss. The Safe Sleeve is performed laparoscopically and on an outpatient basis and only performed by Dr. Tom or his professionally trained surgeons at Blossom Bariatrics.
